Homework Statement
(I) An experiment to determine ceramic particle sizes showed that the rate of descent when suspended in a fluid ranged from 1.2 × 10–6 m s–1 to 5 × 10–6 m s–1. The density of the material was 3800 kg m–3 and the density and viscosity of the fluid at room temperature were 1632 kg m–3 and 0.00972 Pas respectively. Calculate the range of sizes of the particles.
